Introduction

This data visualization project provide insight to the stock market performance during the
initial 2-month period of the COVID-19 outbreak (init data point set to February 2, 2020)

The project consist of two parts:

  • COVID-19 OUTBREAK AND S&P500 PERFORMANCE
  • GRANULAR ANALYSIS OF S&P500 CONSTITUENTS

    What is the S&P500?

    The S&P500 is a stock market index comprised of the 500 largest companies that are
    listed on stock exchanges in the United States. The charts on this website represent
    performance data of the index (total value of all companies in the S&P500), as well
    as performance data of particular industries, sub-industries, and individual companies


    PART 1: COVID-19 OUTBREAK AND S&P500 PERFORMANCE

    This initial chart show the daily confirmed cases of COVID-19 for three geographical
    regions; China ("daily_covid_china"), United States ("daily_covid_us"), and all other
    countries ("daily_covid_world"). The area chart is accompanied by a bar chart which
    provides a better understanding of the distribution of number of daily COVID-19 cases.



    DAILY CONFIRMED COVID-19 AND THE S&P500

    In this chart, the S&P500 index value (blue) has been added to the right axis.
    The index value remains stable while the daily number of cases are limited to
    China. But when the virus begins to spread globally, we start to see a decline.



    PART 2: S&P500 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

    This part of the project brings an interactive, exploratory data analysis platform,
    allowing the user to study the performance of each individual S&P500 industry, sub industry,
    and S&P500 company during the initial 2-month period of the COVID-19 market crash
